Hey guys, let's talk about Utada Hikaru here
))
Btw, topik ini udah ada dibuat sebelumnya? Kalo misalnya udah, anyone's kind enough to give me the link? I'd like to make some post about her. Thank you
Akhir2 ini, gw lagi dengerin lagu2 dia lagi. Sebener-nya udah seneng lama seh dari jaman SMA, pas lagi demam lagu
First Love itu. Terus sempet beli her 1st and 2nd album,
First Love and
Distance (kalo ga salah). Abis itu, sempet vakum for a few years. And suddenly....ta da! She's back with Come Back To Me which is her single for her 2nd English album.
Gw tau lagu itu dari adek gw. Frankly, I wasn't fond of her previous english album, EXODUS. Songs like Eazy Breezy and Devil Inside were just too alternative and experimental for my ears. Although her producer was
Timbaland at the time, and I usually love and adore his creations (Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous + Say It Again, Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back + My Love, One Republic's Apologize, and many more), EXODUS simply didn't do it for me. I was ecstatic that UTADA decided to change her musical direction for this new album.

hahaha Hikki mang rada lucu, kalo nyanyi lagu Jepang itu mesti rada2 mellow2 gmana, tp giliran bikin album US langsung deh irama R&B nya kentel abis, nyesuain pasar kali ya.
Anyway n anyhow, aku suka lagu dia, tapi yah album exodus emang bukan masterpiece dia menurutku (tho didalamnya ada beberapa track yg aku suka).
Talking about fav track... I cant decide :oops: :oops: most of her songs are my fave
starting from the First Love, Automatic, Time Will Tell, Can You Keep a Secret, Sakura Drops, Traveling, Distance, Hikari, sampe Flavor of Life, Heart Station, Stay Gold, and tentu saja the lates on and on, good morning mr lawrence ( a gay film soundtrack )
keren2 semua dah//
lol bener bgt! Nonetheless, I'm glad that she's back to her RnB root which resembles her earlier days karena terus terang aja gw rada sedikit bosen ama lagu2nya kelewat “melodious” such as Hikari, Keep Trying, Color, Beautiful world, Prisoner of Love, etc. Flavour of Life is an exception to me because I like that song, partly due to Hana Yori Dango tv series. The song got stuck in my head after only a few listens – abis diulang2 terus seh pas ntn filmnya XDD
I think her voice is refined as well in This Is The One. Gw ngeraa suara-nya jadi lebih bagus, lebih pas and smooth =p It’s so refreshing to hear she sings upbeat songs as well like On & On and Dirty Desire ( a song that may cause eye-popping to her Japanese fans due to the raunchy lyrics).
I loooooveeee Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, FYI! It’s simply brilliant. From the beats, the melody which takes the sample of Ryuici Sakamoto’s Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence to the comical lyrics:
“ Like Captain Picard
I'm chillin' and flossin'
It's seven o'clock
I issue a warning “
It’s a shinning gem in the album!!

wahahaha... u r sooo rite about that Ryuichi Sakamoto
n yeah.. hikki's skill in making lyric is MARVELOUS!!
i like how she use "unique" metaphor in each of her song
Blackberry ??
Apple n Cinnamon ??
etc etc
ohh Hikki.. i'm so in love with u.. so young yet so brilliant
thoo...
I'm a bit disappointed with Automatic Part 2
What d hell with..
"Helo my name is Utada like ladidadida.. "
ah ya.. Me Muero some say this song inspired by her latino boyfriend
its quite cute how she pronounced "Istanbul"
versi jepang yg judulna hikari, vrsi inggris yg judulna Simple and Clean.. tu yg KH1
yg kh 2 vrsi jepangna judul laguna Passion, judul inggris na Sanctuary,.. hahaha..
cuma emng si penyanyi jepang yg gwe demn ya dy sebiji.. wakaka
Hihihi, thanks you're also right about her penchant for using metaphor in her lyrics.
Yeah, she said that she wanted to create songs that are multilayered, meaning that there are lots of layer or depth to the songs like the melody, the beats and the lyrics. And thus, they better fulfill the listener's various motives from getting a mere pleasure or enjoyment, wanting to be able to dance with the music to the tendency to dig the lyrics.
I adore her above notion. It adds the 'weight' to the songs, and hence they're deemed of good quality from many facet.
sore itu... gw ma BF gw lg ngga enakan... so kita discus deh berdua... lama2 discus kita ngga ketemu2... akhirnya malah bertengkar... gw kekeh dengan pendapat gw, sementara dia kekeuh dengan pendapatnya, kita berdua sama2 untuk saling bisa menahan emosi, tapi masalah yg pelik membuat kita saling egois.
akhirnya setelah dua jam kita berdebat dan bertengkar, tanpa sadar kita saling menyakiti, sambil menangis dia keluar kamar kost kita, bahkan disaat yg seperti itu ego gw ngga mampu meraih tangannya untuk menahan dia jangan pergi, tangan dan bibir gw rasanya kelu, dan membisu, cuma bisa diam terpaku melihat dia pergi meninggalkan kamar, gw lalu duduk di sofa kecil sambil menatap jendela, gw sedih bgt, berkali2 gw memegang kening sambil terus berpikir kenapa ini terjadi.
tak terasa menetes juga air mata di pipi, diiringi gerimis diluar, gw terdiam sambil melihat hujan yang mulai lebat, aku meraih hape dan langsung play musik playernya tanpa memilih lagu, beberapa saat mulai terdengar lagu dari hape, lagunya Utada Hikaru - Baby come back to me. liriknya bener2 pas dengan nuansa hati gw, gw tambah sesak, dan miris dengarnya, akhirnya gw sadar bahwa BF gw sangat berarti bwat gw, ego gw yg kekanak-kanakan membuat pertengkaran ini terjadi, langsung ambil jaket dan pergi menyusul BF gw untuk minta maaf, sambil terburu2 gw keluar membuka pintu, ternyata BF gw udh di depan pintu sambil terlihat basah, gw peluk dia dan minta maaf. lups you baby......
Utada Hikaru - Come Back To Me
The rain falls on my windows
And the coldness runs through my soul
When the rain falls, oh when the rain falls
I don’t want to be alone
I wish that I could photoshop on
Our bad memories
Because the flashbacks, oh the flashbacks
Won’t leave me alone
If you come back to me
I’ll be all that you need
Baby, come back to me
Let me make up for what happened in the past
Baby come back to me
Come back
I’ll be everything you need
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
Boy, you’re one in a million
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
I’ll be everything you need
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
You’re one in a million
Memories I have of Manhattan
She goes shopping for new clothes
And she buys this
And she buys that
Just leave her alone
I wish that he would listen to her
Side of the story
It isn’t that bad
It isn’t that bad
And she’s wiser for it now
I admit I cheated
Don’t know why I did it
But I do regret it
Nothing I can do or say can change the past
Baby come back to me
Come back
I’ll be everything you need
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
Boy, you’re one in a million
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
I’ll be everything you need
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
You’re one in a million
One in a million
Everything I ever did
Heaven knows I’m sorry but
I was too young to see
You were always there for me
And my curiosity got the better half of me
Baby take it easy on me
Anything from A to Z
Tell me what you want to be
I open my heart to be
You are more priority
Can’t you see you punished me
More than enough already
Baby take it easy on me
Baby take it easy on me
Baby come back to me
Baby come back to me
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
I’ll be everything you need
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
Boy, you’re one in a million
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
I’ll be everything you need
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
You’re one in a million
One in a million
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
I’ll be everything you need
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
Boy, you’re one in a million
One in a million
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
I’ll be everything you need
Come back
Baby come back to me
Come back
Boy, you’re one in a million
One in a million
Yes me too >.<!~ Hopefully it'll grow on me coz I just listened to it once.
Aww!~ Didn't know that. Who's her bf? was he hot? Appearantly, Me Muero is her fav track in the album! XD
insaperable : your story is so sweet :ppp
I'm happy for you and your bf. I wish you all the best for the relationship
Anyhow, talking about Come Back To Me, has anyone seen the clip yet? It's ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE! The video director is Anthony Mandler - the one who did Rihanna's Dirtubia, Shut Up and Drive and Rehab. Initially, I thought Disturbia was directed by David LaChapelle as there are elements of sex, gender ambiguity, glamour and rawness in the video. I found out that I was mistaken! LOL XDDD
